One Engine Trans to Rule them All in 2018?
In the past the Dyna and Touring had the A motor. It looks from the photos like the Softail line is going to lose the counterbalancers and share the same engine and transmission as the touring line. No more rigid mounted B motor?
If the Moco used a generic drivetrain platform (sportster and Vrod excluded) on their most popular models that would make good economic sense.
Interestingly the shock on the softail is up under the seat, same location as on a 50's Vincent Black Shadow. Not knocking it the Vincent was an amazing machine.

Interesting. The pictures look so much like the touring drivetrain. So they managed to stuff another counterbalancer in the M8 that already had a counterbalancer. I do like they kept the drivetrain rigid mounted, now I wonder how smooth it will be, they did such a good job on smoothing out the touring drivetrain.
